No, the State Shouldn’t Cut Parents Out of Medical Decisions for Minors

Should laws be passed that cut parents out of the decision-making process for teens and vaccines?

Yes, if you’re the Los Angeles Times Editorial Board, which supports California Senate Bill 866, innocuously entitled “Minors: Vaccine Consent,” which could come up for a vote in the legislature anytime in the next week. Its recent editorial argued that “California teenagers should have the right to protect their health by receiving approved vaccines without parental consent or knowledge.”

To that unprecedented and controversial claim, I say without hesitation, “No!”

This is not an issue of parents versus children. We all recognize that teens are still developing and are still immature. Science has shown that their brains are still developing. We still consider them to be minors because they still need the influence and wisdom of loving parents. After all, we don’t let minors use tobacco, vape, or vote. So, the question is really: Who will help guide and protect minor children—government bureaucrats or parents?

The L.A. Times Editorial Board implies parents cannot be trusted. They advocate for minors to consent to vaccinations to protect from what they describe as “vaccine misinformation” from parents. But here’s the problem: The L.A. Times Editorial Board wants government bureaucrats to be influencing kids. Parents can’t be trusted, but government bureaucrats can—at least in the eyes of the L.A. Times Editorial Board. (Read more from “No, the State Shouldn’t Cut Parents Out of Medical Decisions for Minors” HERE)

‘I’m a High-Profile Person’: Paul Pelosi DUI Footage Released After Guilty Plea

The California Highway Patrol released photos and videos from the night the husband of House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) was arrested on suspicion of driving under the influence.

In the newly unveiled footage, Paul Pelosi, 82, is heard slurring his words as police question him over his level of intoxication and direct him through sobriety tests. Pelosi pleaded guilty to one charge of DUI on Tuesday in exchange for a five-day prison sentence and additional penalties.

However, Pelosi has already served two days, received credit for two additional days, and will participate in a work program for the remaining time, Politico reported.

Dashcam footage obtained by the Washington Examiner showed Pelosi informing an officer on the scene that he drank a glass of champagne and a glass of wine that night. One of the officers noted that Pelosi was grasping the patrol vehicle to maintain his balance.

Two Planes Collide in Mid Air, Multiple Fatalities Reported

Multiple people are reported dead after two small airplanes collided in mid air as they were attempting to land at the Watsonville Municipal Airport in Santa Cruz, California, Thursday afternoon.

The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) reported that two people were in a twin-engine Cessna 340 and one person was on-board a single-engine Cessna 152 when the planes crashed into each other, according to KSBW 8. A photo posted by the City of Watsonville showed that one of the planes had also crashed into a hangar.

“Multiple agencies responded to Watsonville Municipal Airport after 2 planes attempting to land collided. We have reports of multiple fatalities,” the city tweeted. “Report came in at 2:56pm. Investigation is underway, updates to follow.”

One person driving by the airport after the crash posted a video of the other plane that ended up in a field after the accident.

Experts: Megaflood Is Coming to California, and It Could Be the Most Expensive Natural Disaster Ever

Many Californians fear the “Big One,” but it might not be what you think. . .

A new study by Science Advances shows climate change has already doubled the chances of a disastrous flood happening in California in the next four decades. And experts say it would be unlike anything anyone alive today has ever experienced.

Daniel Swain, a climate scientist with UCLA and a researcher involved in the study, describes a megaflood as, “a very severe flood event across a broad region that has the potential to bring catastrophic impacts to society in the areas affected.” He said a megaflood is similar to the 1,000-year flash flood events seen this summer in the St. Louis area and Kentucky, but across a much wider area, such as the entire state of California.

These massive floods, which experts say would turn California’s lowlands into a “vast inland sea,” might have previously happened once in a lifetime in the state. But experts say climate change is increasing the likelihood of these catastrophic disasters, causing them to occur more like every 25 to 50 years.

Camera Catches Wife Allegedly Spiking Husband’s Drink With Cleaning Product

A California radiologist says he has video evidence of his wife, a dermatologist, spiking his drinks with dangerous household chemicals on multiple occasions – after he developed internal injuries and hid cameras in their kitchen.

Irvine police arrested 45-year-old dermatologist Dr. Yue Yu, who also goes by Emily, last week on suspicion of poisoning. She has not yet been formally charged, according to the Orange County District Attorney’s Office.

Dr. Jack Chen, her 53-year-old husband, filed for an order of protection Friday,

“I am fearful of being in the same home and in the presence of respondent due to respondent’s recorded attempts to poison me with Drano,” Chen’s request for a domestic violence restraining order reads.

Drano is a brand-name chemical drain cleaner that the U.S. government describes as “very dangerous” if ingested, inhaled or placed in contact with the skin or eyes. (Read more from “Camera Catches Wife Allegedly Spiking Husband’s Drink With Cleaning Product” HERE)

Children’s Gender Clinic Founder Was a Consultant for Puberty Blocker Manufacturers

The co-founder and director of a clinic that aids in children’s sex change attempts, Dr. Stephen Rosenthal, has received money as a consultant from two pharmaceutical companies that are both under investigation for advertising puberty blockers.

Rosenthal is the cofounder and medical director of the University of California San Francisco Benioff Children’s Hospital’s Child and Adolescent Gender Center.

He received $38,704 from pharmaceutical companies between the years of 2015 and 2021, more than 98% of United States endocrinologists did, according to a report from Care Dash, a site that uses public records to track the money that doctors have received as compensation from pharmaceutical companies.

Of that sum, $16,765 came from Endo Pharmaceuticals and AbbVie; payments were linked directly to their products Supprelin LA and Lupron, which are both used off-label as puberty blockers for children who are attempting to change their sex. Public records reveal that Rosenthal has accepted consulting fees from both AbbVie and Endo Pharmaceuticals.

In 2018, Rosenthal received the third highest amount of any doctor in America in compensation related to Supprelin LA, ProPublica reported. (Read more from “Children’s Gender Clinic Founder Was a Consultant for Puberty Blocker Manufacturers” HERE)

Supreme Court Vacates Ruling Upholding California’s Large-Capacity Gun Magazine Ban

The U.S. Supreme Court on Thursday vacated a ruling in a San Diego case that upheld California’s ban on gun magazines that hold more than 10 bullets and sent it back to a lower court to reconsider following the high court’s major decision in a gun case last week.

The Supreme Court also ordered similar fresh looks on other gun restrictions in Hawaii, New Jersey and Maryland.

In light of last week’s ruling — which said that Americans have a right to carry a gun outside the home — the Supreme Court said lower courts should take another look at several cases that had been awaiting action by the high court. Those cases include one about a Maryland assault weapons ban and another regarding a Hawaii law that limits who can carry a gun outside the home.

Crazy Report: Dozens of Sailors Confirm U.S. Warships Were Swarmed by ‘at Least 100’ UFOs

Sailors on a fleet of U.S. Navy warships sailing off the coast southern California coast reportedly saw several ships in the convoy get “swarmed” by a host of unidentified flying objects (UFOs).

“The incident went on for hours, and then happened again and again throughout the month, with craft hovering and zipping around near the fleet with flashing multicolored lights,” the Daily Mail reported about the July 2019 incident.

U.S. officials have dismissed the incident, with the Deputy Director for Naval Intelligence Scott Bray saying he was “reasonably confident” the UFOs were drones.

“But documentary filmmaker Jeremy Corbell, in an exclusive interview with DailyMail.com, says that crew from the ships have told him the swarms of ‘at least 100’ UFOs possessed unexplainable capabilities far beyond traditional drones. And he warned that unless the government can determine who was behind the swarm, the intelligence failure would ‘dwarf our mistakes made surrounding the events of 9/11,’” the Mail reported.

The LA Pride parade over the weekend in Los Angeles featured whips cracking against bodies, bare breasts, and bulging crotches — all in full view of little children who were gathered in the crowd with presumably approving parents. . .

“Happy Pride! We have bandanas and lube!” the individual on a microphone said after which the video camera panned to the smiling mother and two children in the crowd:
